"The desire to be right, the need to be right are very important in the lives of most adults. This is no less true of religious adults..... The need to be right carries with it the fear of being wrong. In the lives of many Christian adults this factor prevents learning. To be ready to learn is to be ready to admit that there is much one does not know, that one may not be entirely right. There is even the risk that one may be proved wrong."
